  • WELCOME!

    I love photographing people and events. I love telling stories with pictures. I love watching people and capturing emotions and feelings in an image. I love to have fun. And Laugh. And be silly.

    I am an endless wanderer and my middle name means 'bringer of light' so I try to do that wherever I go! I lived overseas for three years doing humanitarian photojournalism, which was a dream come true. I am now back in the U.S. establishing roots and figuring life out.

HOPE worldwide Community Service Brigade

I had the opportunity to go to Honduras in January 2012 as the photojournalist – responsible for capturing and telling the story of the incredible work & service that is going on down there through HOPE worldwide’s programs.   About  60 volunteers came together from all over the US to serve in whatever capacity they could and were able.  About half the team consisted of medical personnel – Doctors, Nurses, Pharmacists, Triage, etc..  and the other half had various backgrounds and helped out in many different ways.

Below is the video I put together for the volunteers mostly to re-cap our time down there.
